"NetPlayTV has continued the growth trend seen in the last quarter with active casino players at 21,156, up 21.8% year on year [Q2 2010: 17,371], and sign ups increasing by 26.8% to 20,691 [Q2 2010: 16,313].

"The Company continues to focus on driving customer acquisitions via iPhone with active players in Q2 accounting for more than 13% of all Supercasino.com active players. The iPad application is currently going through final testing and the Company is looking forward to increased smartphone and tablet penetration in Q3.
"The positive momentum we have seen continuing into Q2 has been very encouraging, giving us added confidence for the year ahead and we look forward to providing a further update at our interims in the coming weeks."
The Company is expecting to release its interim results by the end of July 2011.
